Unforgettable Moments: The Magic of Spending Time with Your Best Friend

Good day, everyone! Today, I will share with you the celebration of my best friend's 18th birthday.

On May 12, 2024, my best friend and I decided to go on an overnight trip with our friends. We planned to stay at Paraizzo, so on the morning of May 12, they picked me up from our house in Tuburan Sur, Danao City. Then, we went to Sabang to pick up my best friend. After that, we traveled from Sabang to Compostela and stopped by Chooks to Go to buy food. Then we continued our journey to buy rice and soft drinks. We continued on to Paraizzo, which was quite far from the highway, and we almost got lost. But it was worth it because the view was so beautiful.
However, when we arrived, we were told that we couldn’t check in because they claimed we were minors. So, we decided to turn back and look for another resort where we could stay overnight. We eventually chose Estaca Beach Resort. When we arrived there, we checked in right away because we were so exhausted from the long trip and the intense heat.

We arrived around 2 PM, so we had lunch and then rested because we we're really tired. We needed to save energy for the evening so we could have fun and swim. My friends and I had planned to surprise my best friend at midnight. Of course, we couldn’t skip taking pictures of my best friend for our documentary and memories.

By around 6 PM, we went swimming. Estaca Beach Resort was great; they didn’t just have a pool but also the beach, which was highly recommended. My friends decided to buy alcoholic drinks to add to the fun, so they went out to buy some. I asked them to grab a bento cake for the surprise as well. While they were gone, my best friend and I were still swimming and taking pictures. When our friends came back, we started drinking and had so much fun. Even though there were only a few of us, we got along well, sang, danced, and just had a blast.

It was almost midnight, so we got the cake ready, and exactly at 12 midnight, we sang happy birthday to my best friend. We surprised her, though the candles went out, but at least she was happy with how we greeted her on her birthday. After that, we went outside to get some fresh air and had deep conversations. Anyway, before we agreed on the overnight trip, I had already ordered a bento cake to surprise my best friend for her 18th birthday.

But soon, I started feeling a headache and nausea. It wasn’t from drinking; it was just the cold from the room combined with exhaustion. So, we stopped the fun, and everyone went to sleep.

The next morning, we woke up early and had breakfast with best friend in their dining area, since only two people we're allowed to eat for free. After that, we swam in the pool, and once we finished getting changed, we got ready to head home. We left around noon, stopped by Sabang to inform her aunt that we were heading back, and continued our trip. We passed through Santican, Danao City, where we saw a nice view of the mountains. We passed through Carmen because it was closer than Danao, and we decided to stop there for a meal of spaghetti. My best friend and I decided to take some pictures because the view was really beautiful. Once we arrived, we rested and just chilled, admiring the mountains and the scenery. The view there was so amazing and highly recommended. Afterward, we decided to go home because my best friend couldn’t stay out too late, as her family was celebrating her birthday too.

Anyways, spending time with your best friend is always special. It's a time to create memories, laugh together, and enjoy each other's company. Whether it's a simple conversation, an adventure, or just being there for each other, these moments are priceless. Your best friend understands you like no one else, and being together brings happiness and comfort. Every moment spent with them is truly unforgettable.

Estaca Beach Resort is highly recommended. If you're from Cebu or Danao, I’m sure you've been there. It used to be one of the best beach destinations we’ve experienced. It has both swimming pools and a beach. This popular beach resort in Compostela, Cebu, was formerly known as Stakili Beach Resort and is now called Estaca Bay Gardens Conference Resort. It’s located at KM 23, Estaca, Compostela, Cebu, which is just an hour away (more or less) from Cebu or Danao City, depending on traffic. Also, Santican in Danao City is really nice and relaxing. So, what are you waiting for? Go visit, and you won’t regret it!
